Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 193 Balance of Interests
more than two months more than two months
After thinking about this time several times in his heart, Carter said helplessly:

"Okay, let's do it like this. If someone really dares to sell the house in the past few months and come to Douglas, then we will admit it!"

"That's it?"

Benjamin nodded in a daze, wanting to say something, and then fight for it.But his conscience really prevented him from saying anything more, but after thinking about it, at least in these two months, it is still possible to absorb new citizens
"Okay, I got it. I'll start to do it when I go back! By the way, there is a situation, I have to tell you, I will give you a reduction or exemption of consumption tax, so don't play tricks on the oil price!"

"Oil prices? What's wrong with that?"

Carter was taken aback when he heard the words. After the price of refined oil at his gas station was reduced, the business was indeed as he expected.It is extremely popular. If we only talk about the profit of a single store, his own gas station is currently the most profitable business in the industry under his name.

It’s just that making money is making money. First, it’s just a separate gas station, and it can’t scale.Secondly, although the total profit is good, the unit profit is too low!
In addition to the part of the consumption tax reduction and exemption, in addition to giving up his own profits, Carter also released water in terms of profits.After all, the positioning is different and the purpose is different. In Carter's plan, the gas station is not for making money. It is just a tool person to help drain traffic, or a tool store.

So Carter doesn't care about this stuff.As long as you don't lose money, you can attract customers. No matter how much you earn, it is a profit of about [-] US dollars a month.

"Oh, that's a big problem. Mike Jones has a lot of opinions on you recently, even on me! He said that I shouldn't give you consumption tax relief, which made his gas station, three plus one, not as good as yours. , saying that you are engaging in malicious competition!"

Benjamin chuckled, he could understand why Carter was confused at this time.

Ten thousand dollars is really nothing to Carter today.Not to mention his current asset scale, the loan from Forest Bank alone, the 26 stores that have been signed, means that Carter has released at least five million dollars in loans.

As long as HT's revenue is normal, then the annual interest rate is 12%, and the annual interest income alone will be 60 US dollars, which will be [-] US dollars per month on average.This does not include the operating profit sharing after the opening of HT stores in the future.

And what's even more frightening is that Carter's income in this part still has a very high growth potential.As more stores are opened, the business will be better, and his income in this area will only increase!
This is comparable to a gas station with high profits because of policy dividends. It smells so good!It's only natural that Carter doesn't care about it.
"I can understand your purpose, but I also feel that your gas price really needs to rise a bit. You don't know, now in Douglas, many people would rather drive [-] kilometers, [-] kilometers round trip to get gas at your place, than Go to Mike's gas station."

"It doesn't make sense. If you refuel for [-] kilometers, you will consume more than two gallons of gasoline on the way. The extra money is nothing compared to my discount, right?"

The US gallon is roughly equal to 3.785 liters of gasoline in China, and American cars have always been known as oil tigers.In the future, after several oil crises, we will start to study and apply fuel-saving and energy-saving technologies for American cars, which will give you more than a dozen gasoline for every [-] kilometers.

What's more, here will
As far as Carter's own Mustang GT is concerned, it is a big gas eater.When running at high speed, it's better when the speed is up. Usually, when driving in the city, the fuel consumption has never been lower than 18
Crazy under such exaggerated fuel consumption? !In order to covet a few tens of cents a gallon of cheap gasoline, spend a few extra dollars to go to your own place to refuel? !

Out of your mind? !

"If you just look at the oil price, you may not feel anything. Even if it is a family car with a large fuel tank, such refueling can at most achieve a balance of payments, which does not reflect too many advantages. But have you forgotten that there is still How about a HT restaurant? How do you sell thousands of cakes a day?"

"You mean, they went to refuel, and then bought a lot of cakes there by the way?"

Still have this kind of operation? !carter expressed surprise
"That's not right! Your discount on gas prices is equivalent to paying them travel expenses, so that they can go to Highway 23 to buy burritos. And your burritos are cheap, and a single item can't attract them." Man, what about the addition of the two?"

"Understood, what you mean is that I need to increase the price of gas, probably to the point where the citizens would feel that it is not worthwhile to make such a trip, and there will be hesitation, right?"

"That's right! After all, this is also for the stability of the city. Otherwise, if Mike's customers from the three gas stations are all sucked away by you, if there is any problem with him, it will be another pile of troubles."

Benjamin nodded. Although it is unreasonable to say this, it still has to be done this way.The so-called mayor, the first job he needs to do is to ensure the stability of the city, the degree of stability of a city, public security is only the appearance, hidden behind the public security problem is the distribution of the city's interests.

If a city, everyone can benefit.Everyone has something to do, work to do, and bread to eat, so its security problems will definitely be much less!
Except for the natural anti-social personality, most people can live a good life, who is willing to take risks? !
"But as compensation, I also found a place for you. On Babniuk Street, there is a shop whose property rights are still in the hands of our city government. You can take over this shop and only give a token The price is fine. Then, reopen a store in the city, any store is up to you, except ht, unless you can also do Pearson’s in Douglas.”

In order to make up for, or balance, Carter's lost interests, Benjamin had to cut and bleed again.

The best elementary school in the city of Douglas is on Babnyuk Street.In the words of the future, this is the facade of the school district, and the value is not low. Originally, Benjamin planned to sell it for a price.

But thinking about it now, this is the only thing that can compensate Carter for the loss of restaurant profits caused by raising oil prices.As for the ht store
"Hey, forget it, I found out that you really treat me as a local rich man. If you want to make another HT plan in Douglas, why don't you just chop me up and take it to the slaughterhouse to see how much money you can sell it for?"

Carter nodded with a wry smile, agreeing to Benjamin's compensation plan and conditions.

In order to balance his interests, he could only accept this matter.If you don't admit it, Mike will go bankrupt in the future, regardless of the relationship between hostility and non-hostility, won't you still have to wipe your ass by then?
I have to spend a lot of money to buy three useless gas stations, let alone get it myself, how to balance this business?

How not to raise the price of gas at the gas station next to Highway 23, these three new ones are in their own name, and that is also a money-losing thing.But if it is mentioned, then my business will still face the foreseeable reduction in benefits.
Instead of causing trouble to everyone on a day when everyone is unhappy, and I have to bear more losses, it is better to simply agree to it now.Anyway, I can change to a store in the school district!

Although, this shop is also useless in the short term.
